NICOLA SAUNDERSON ARTIST

Kerb 1, 150cm x 104.5cm, using pencil, pen, and collaged texture drawings attached with push pins to the cartridge paper, September 2012.

The grid drawn on Kerb 1 was not as square as previously done as I wanted to draw a selection of kerbs across the background, then draw over these.
The central black outline kerbs drawn are 1:2 scale showing 3 kerbs which I measured on an industrial estate.

Along the horizon of the drawing I drew out on a scale of 1:10 the complete kerb area that I measured

Detail of the collaged area scale 1:5 of the same 3 kerbs drawn centrally at 1:2.

Layering up of scales. Thinking about how scale works within the drawing.

Kerb 1 (detail), 150cm x 104.5cm, using pencil, pen, and collaged texture drawings attached with push pins to the cartridge paper, September 2012.

Considering the relationship between the measured kerbs and standard ones drawn in the background.

Detail of curve in the kerb edge.

Considering how structures are constructed in relation to surrounding space.

Identifying components?

One of the measuring drawing recording the kerb edge being looked at on the industrial estate, used in Kerb 1, Kerb 2, and Kerb 2 Fragment drawings, A3 drawings, September 2012.

Kerb 2, 150cm x 151cm, November 2012, drawing using kerb measurements documented for kerb area on Winchester industrial estate.

The left side of the drawing details using the Marshalls kerb document all the standard kerbs that would be needed to re make this area. Interested in ideal unit against my measured kerbs, there not being a great difference in length and width, but in height there was either a great difference, or not, it depends exactly on what type of kerb I am dealing with.

Kerb 2, 150cm x 151cm, November 2012, drawing using kerb measurements documented for kerb area on Winchester industrial estate.

Detail showing some of the left side standard drawn kerbs. I wasn't 100 % sure what height kerb it was. An area of height would be concealed by road/path surface so I was mostly working with a Half Battered Kerb 125 x 255 914 mm, and the lower kerb of 125 x 150 x 914 mm.

Kerb 2, 150cm x 151cm, November 2012, drawing using kerb measurements documented for kerb area on Winchester industrial estate.

Folded up and documented December 2012.

Considering whether you need to be able to see the whole drawing all at once.

Kerb 2 Fragment, 75cm x 75cm, pencil and paint on cartridge paper folded, November 2012.

Kerb 2 Fragment details the curved area of the kerb edge, the layout in Kerb 2 didn't sit on the paper, it felt too disjointed, and I felt that separating the curve fragment onto its own space would give the areas greater space to exist.

Kerb 2 fragment, laid down flat on the floor with texture samples relating to the site screwed up on top.

Does this bring a physicality to the work.

Kerb Island, 104cm x 150cm, pencil, paint, and collaged textures on cartridge paper folded, November 2012.

This work references a kerb island on the Winchester industrial estate .

Interested in how this functional island structure defines an area, providing a form for traffic to go around or pedestrians to pass over. Function becoming important in how it relates to the idea of readability.

I measured the kerbs of Kerb Island and identified them as Half Battered Kerbs.

Kerb Island (detail), 104cm x 150cm, pencil, paint, and collaged textures on cartridge paper folded, November 2012.

Not using the standard kerb measurements as I felt it might remove the site too much. This is still something I intended to explore but still needed to maintain a relationship to the site.

Paint giving a solidity and mass, materiality to the kerb edge.

Process of seeking to map Kerb Island, so all measured parts meet forming a complete structure. The cases where it doesn't meet became most interesting, and I think this was crucial to the drawing. By not meeting up the drawing suggested a structure that didn't work, greater tension.
